. Theobject of my invention is to attach the smell brush for applyingthe-blocking, usually found on the back or top of mblacking-brush, insuch :t manner that it will revolve, in order that the same, in lise,may weer` evenly, und also in such n. manner' that when worn out it 4eenbe easily replaced, itbeing well known that this smell brushwears outmuch sooner than the large polishing-brush to which it sattached. I i

A.The large and small'brusheQA 1 3, are mode in the usual manner. Theconnecting-piece a is made of any suitable material, and is providedwith a screw, c, at one end, and o projection, cl, et the other end.
